Running music?

mousmeOkay, flist, I need your help.
I know that some of you are runners and/or work out regularly. I am going to cave and get myself an iPod (a Shuffle), because running on the treadmill is so excruciatingly boring that I often contemplate committing hara kiri with my water bottle in an effort to end the agony.
That being said, I have very little by way of digital music, at least not in mp3 format, because I have up until now listened almost exclusively to CDs (ever since I had to give up my beloved cassettes and vinyl records). I also have very little that would serve as good work-out music. The stuff I listen to is either too mellow, or doesn't have the right kind of beat to it.
In short, I need recommendations for mp3s that I can load onto my iPod so as to make my workouts less mind-numbingly boring.
Suggestions? Please?

Quite a lot of Robbie Williams stuff is quite good for exercise because of the good steady pace - the recent Bodies is a nice steady run, so is Supreme.
Whatever list you end up with, don't be afraid to weed it. Only keep the songs that work together and that you like, else you'll lose the flow if it switches to a song you're less fond of.
